Glad you caught her in time to save a horrible mishap.

Thank you, heart was hammering for at least half hour after she was safe back in her locked very tight viv!

Glad everyone is ok!

Thanks, and yeah, she seemed pretty intent on food, was surprised I didn't get tagged when I picked her up.

Sorry to hear that. If I hadn't been in to stop it I am pretty sure I would be saying the same.

You were lucky April!

very lucky, when I put lucy the naughty escapee back in her viv, I must have looked mental, was wagging my finger at her and saying naughty girl, don't try to eat ruby, what has she ever done to you. Like she'd understand, or even care if she could!

Kings... an intellectual snake

[tokay]

What sort of lock have you got on your kingsnake viv?
Ive noticed some sliding glass metal locks wont let the glass completly shut and allows it to open about a qtr of an inch
Glad you caught the king though

one of those that screw on to the the glass then slide the lock along. BUT
to be frank and honest, the lock wasn't locked so it is not the locks fault if that makes sense!!

Well ed does have the jumper eater!! and i have seen male kings trying to get frisky with thier own tails but that you just have to laugh at it really is the snake version of a dog chasing its tail

ohh ed i will never grow tired of looking at your albino trying to attack your jumper it does make grin and a have childish giggle.
